    Hi, So I was downloading the win 10 iso using the mediacreationtool from ms and while monitoring traffic data, I noticed about 60mb was being uploaded to ms. I'm curious as to what was being uploaded as such? I understand some pc information etc... but over 60mb of data, really?

    you will need to clean install 7 on the new rig, phone activate it, then reserve your upgrade.

    oh, and do this within the year, while free upgrades are still offered.

    if you want a transferable windows 10 you will need to buy a fully packaged product, or an unrestricted upgrade, so you can get a product key.

    Lot of smart boys will be left without an OS in they machine with a late install of 7 or 8... let's say after July 29 ?.
    Stick to the XP boys... maybe black edition is the best for you!.

    You upgrade to Windows 10. Then, you can go into Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Reset this PC > Get started.
    That's it.

    I'm wondering if motherboard manufacturers are going to have to come up with some kind of bundled win10 oem license or their sales may tank.

    #1. Generic key that is used for all who upgraded to Win 10 Pro, no other available.

    #2. Being online during whole upgrade process and after a fresh install is mandatory.

    #3. Server suffer a lot atm and tend to offer that error

    #4. If system was activated in initial upgrade, it will activate after a while.
